All Blacks secret Training regime exposed

I thought the sheep got the shorter end!

I thought it was SBW closing the bus doors on Duh Allende again.

Prune will be all over this, what with there clearly being no arms involved in this high shot.....

. I thought that SBW was leading with the elbow.

LMAO. That hurts.

Ja Draad. Die skaap het die kort ribbetjie beetgekry.

That low ramming action, neck in line with spine, reminds me of those brutal Jerry Collins hits. 

Nice one Sharkbok. 

Classice example of jealousy and looking for anything to knock NZ.

It is an act that humans take on when they are so fed up with their own situation and it makes them feel better to criticise others - Especially people or groups that are far more successful than them.

Cape Town - The Stormers used alternative methods of training as part of their pre-season preparations for next year's Super Rugby competition.

As part of team building and conditioning, the players had to catch some sheep and carry hay bales upon a visit to a nearby farm.

Coach Allister Coetzee said something different was needed to improve team spirit.

"Pre-season training is a tough part of the season, so we have mixed things up a bit - taking the players away from the HPC at least once a week and giving them activities at the beach, on a wine farm; it's all about making it more enjoyable," Coetzee told the Stormers' official website.

The Stormers squad are now on leave before reconvening on Tuesday, January 7, 2014.

It's called a "maintenance phase of conditioning" with the players still expected to keep themselves fit.

"The players that have been here training deserve this break over the festive season, but they will have to do a bit of work too and maintain their fitness during this period of active rest - as we also like to call it," said Coetzee.

The Stormers will play their first pre-season match against the Bulls in Polokwane on Saturday, February 1, followed by clashes against the Kings and Boland on successive weekends.

Their 2014 Super Rugby season kicks off against the Lions - in Johannesburg - on Saturday, February 22.

Stormers pre-season fixtures:

Saturday, February 1:
Bulls v Stormers, Peter Mokaba Stadium (Polokwane) - 17:00

Friday, February 7:
Kings v Stormers, Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium (Port Elizabeth) - 19:00

Saturday, February 15:
Boland v Stormers, Boland Stadium (Wellington) - kick-off TBC

Nah, Linda is South African version of Milo Stewart. Who just so happens to be looking a little clean cut these days. 

Haymaking was awesome when I was a young fella,brutally hard work but the cockies wives would all try to out do each other when taking turns to provide each days tucker and the cockies would provide free beer at each nights BBQ.

First time I ever ate a terrine was sitting on a hay bale in the middle of a paddock.

Cockies? 

Yeowch ! Could be worse ,least the bastard doesnt have horns like some merinos or drysdales.Once had an idiot cocky in NSW who thought he was helping by cutting f f the horns,the mongrel things used the nice sharp ,jagged edges to cut us and our clothes to shreds .

Piet Van Zyl. McCaw and Venter sorted him out. Quite the rotund fellow, he could have been a Bulle prop. 

There was another funny incident. It was the Samoa vs Bok test in the 2003 WC. Someone stormed the pitch and tried to take out Louis Koen when he was running up for a place kick. He knocked himself out. 

Yes, in person. 

This one was a feminist at a Uni game. This one couldn't run that fast. 

Some funny clips for sure Man Louis Kunn was a cool customer, he takes the kick as the guy runs into him, it goes between the posts & he picks up the tee without even acknowledging what happened. Amazing!!

PS. reminds me of that bloke Steyn who was one of the best 10s the Boks had

Was that "Morne " metronome Steyne JW ?Well except that one time vs the Wallies.....

I saw how he even made a tackle that one time........
